With the addition of the Ember series bows to the Galaxy product line, we have something quite uncommon at this pricepoint. Not simply a takedown recurve, but a versatile riser that will also accept matched longbow limbs.

At the heart of the Ember series is its compact riser, measuring only 15". Its slim form is sturdy in construction, thanks to its composition of dense hardwood laminate. The shelf is cut past center and features an aggressive radius to both the shelf and strike surface to bring arrow contact to a bare minimum. The grip is on the slim side of medium but is highly sculpted to provide excellent, regular hand location during shooting.

The recurve limbs for the Ember make for a moderately sized bow, attaching to the riser by means of the reliable bolt & pin system. It draws well to 28" with headroom to spare, though individuals with more extreme draws may want to consider the Black Ridge One-Piece Recurve Bow. When properly set up, the bow produces only minimal hand shock and sound. Its limbs sport a standard recurve profile, are built from black glass and laminated bamboo, and capped with reinforced tips that support Fast-Flight type strings. Altogether, the Ember Recurve is an ideal option for a more compact takedown recurve bow at an affordable cost.
